Kommunalwahlrecht für alle?

In the organizer's words:

In a diverse society, the question increasingly arises as to how democratic participation can be made possible for all people. People with a history of migration in particular often live in Germany for many years, work, start families and help shape their environment - but do not always have the opportunity to have a say in politics. Talking about perspectives on voting rights and participation therefore also means asking fundamental questions about democratic representation, belonging and co-determination. An exchange about different experiences and perspectives is important in order to make visible the obstacles to political participation and which paths could lead to a more inclusive democracy.

Together with Belit Onay, Lord Mayor of Hanover, Haddijatou Jow from the Lower Saxony Integration Council and Spielfeld moderator Jonas Pagel, we want to bring together different aspects and perspectives on the topic of voting rights and participation of people with a history of migration and ask ourselves, among other things:

• What does it mean for a democratic society when many immigrant people have to wait years for an opportunity for political participation?
• Are there opportunities to extend the right to vote in local elections?
• What opportunities for political participation and co-determination are there apart from voting?
